I am hearing how a granddaughter who is an excellent student is often keeping another student who does not have the skills to be in compacted math class in line.  It is not fair to have peers looking after peers with barriers to learning either due to special needs or ESL needs.  There should be a flexible model of some pull-out if needed so that all get the chance to gain basic skills on the levels that they are at.

I can tell you that parents are having to do a lot of supplementary programs on the weekends to keep the kids moving along.  There seems to be a Saturday school for advanced students and a Saturday school for those behind.  At a nearby public library there is an 8-week Girls Who Code class which I think is free.  These are all symptoms of the leaner budgets of school divisions and the increasing needs of many students.

One might compare the web sites of the various elementary schools to see just how much is going on at one as to opposed to another.  Also the strength of the PTO can be a vehicle to support teachers and to get some better programming at times even if it means through the after-school clubs etc.
